the election as you know has already begun. are you getting reports from people in the field from men and women in the military that they can't get their hands on ballots on absentee ballots? are you hearing that? are people writing to you about this? >> what we've done is we've looked at the numbers in individual states to see how many absentee ballots were requested. what we know is that the numbers are at a record low this year when compared to 2008. down by 70% in states like virginia and ohio. and we know that the pentagon knows about the problem and basically they're responding by saying look we're sending out lots of tweets telling soldiers to vote but that's not the answer. they're supposed to have voter registration on military bases. they're supposed to help those service members register for absentee ballots. what we're finding is that they're not doing what they're supposed to do under the law. they're having these voter registration offices in remote places on military bases like the back of the chapel or the back
